[outdated] GWF Sentinel IV Build for PvP (Tenacity) by Swordfish

Many people sent me tells to do an update for my Build (Old Build) if the new PvP Patch with Tenacity will be live, here is my Update for you:

There are 2 Options for you. Still keep your Regeneration with your old gear and use only 10% Tenacity or lose a lot of Regeneration and stack Tenacity, Hitpoints and Armor Penetration. At first I was testing around with Option 1 to keep my Regeneration and old gear (it was 2100 Regen before the Patch) but you are not able anymore to hold a Point a longer time against 3 Enemies, a 2on1 will be hard too now. Your new Arch Enemy is Healing Depression now! If you get strucked by a Foe, all your Healing will be decreased by 50% (exceptional Potions).

I’ve used a Respec to change my Boons, now I’m using the Redcap Brew Boon for 10% more healing on Potions (500+ more HP healing with a PvP Potion) instead of Fey Thistle but the Fey Thistle boon is still good to reflect damage and proc debuffs on Foes. I’m not using Imposing Scrappers and Titans Gear anymore, I’m using the full Grim Sentinel Gear now to get a lot of Tenacity, more Power and the 4 Set Bonus grants you 5% more Deflection + I’m using a Profound Necklace with Hitpoints, Armor Pen, Critical Strike and Tenacity (look at Trade of Blades, there are new Vendors). With that Change on your Gear you will lose Regeneration, 1800 Hitpoints (but you will get some HP back from the Grim Gear) and the Lifesteal but you get more Power, Tenacity and some Hitpoints. I still have almost 1400 Regeneration (Artifacts, Belt and Rings), it helps a little Bit. (+ Healing Boons, Artifacts and Potions). Just play more defensive, use your Brain and with almost 20% Tenacity you are still able to hold a point a longer Time against 2 Enemies.

[Guide] Rolling with a Tank Sentinel { PvP } , Mod 5 Viable Introduction Hello and welcome to my first guide. I played GWF since I started playing Neverwinter and this is my main class. I just want to share my experience with you. If you think there is something I can improve upon, please […]

Important note. Hello everybody, it has been a while since I started working in guides for Neverwinter and I have had a great pleasure doing it. I’ve enjoyed every moment and your support have been great, this pushed me to keep working and testing even the smallest things for all the people who have followed […]

Updated for Module 3. Part 1: Feats. So the Heroic feats we will be getting are going to be mostly dps oriented since we are a Destroyer, and the goal of any good Destroyer is to deal damage right? so i will go over each tier of feats and what our choices will be. Tier 1: […]

Nope. With Tenacity you have more Damage and CC Resistaance + Critical Damage Resistance. Makes you a lot more tankier than before, if you are a good GWF, you will still rock with that Build. Just play defensive and know the weaks of your Enemies Classes.

With tenacity you dont have more dmg… you have dmg resistence, crit dmg resistence and cc resistence.
You are takier than before thats right, but dont forget the enemy is tankier to, + sentinels selfheal was nerfed by 50%.
@good gwf: Good players can allways rock not only with this build and not only with gwf.
Your guide is not bad, i say only this build (sentinel) lost the efficience after tenacity patch and selfheal nerf the dps and selfheal drops immense.

As a Sentinel you need to put your points in CON and DEX (Hitpoints, Resistance Ignored, Deflection- and Critical Chance) and you can balance the STR lack with Disciple of Strength and Steely Defense (Power equal to your Defense)

Yes, you can also play PvE with that Build, you will be very tanky and your DPS is okay. For more DPS I would prefer the Avatar of War Gear (Helmet, Chest, Bracers, Greaves) + Stacking Radiants for Power.

Scale of the Nine Hells armor looks great. I transmuted my armor as well, and transmuted my weapon to the Greataxe of Rage. Looks great. Thanks for the guide. I made some minor changes as well. I added Ubiquitous Shield for the 25% defense against combat advantage damage. Helps against TRs trying to backstab, and those 2V1s 🙂

Is there a server other than neverwinter server? this is the website i was registered on: nw.perfectworld.com
i hope to see you in game swordfish and feel free to donate some of your “junks” to me. hehehe

Recently I’ve been sucking in pvp and I wondered why b/c my Equips were all t2, and i found out my power, feat, and my Ability score was all wrong. Do I have to buy a retraining token? And will 1 be enough to fix all of my stats or do i have to buy alot?

hey man,first of all your build rock i use it for pve also 🙂 i have some question when you have the emblem with what artifact you will replace with? and i look alots of your video’s i wonder what are those items that you have at your keybinds 4 and 5?

Are you still using Sent Grim armor? Im loving this build and quickly gaining glory, on the top of the board almost every game! Thanks man..
I need to find out what to spend the glory on! I already have a full heroic duelist set.
Thanks

Atleast my CW pvp rank rised from Invicible Overlord/Overlord (it tended to fluctuate) into Ultimate Tyrant and has been stayed there since, as there seems to be damage buff and meleeing GWFs doesn’t seem an automatically lost cause anymore (well I won GWF melees even before, but that was really rare).

I started a GWF after the patch just because everyone else was starting SWs and even though the low level PvP tells very little, but SWs probably will be the new damage kings for long time, before they are nerfed. They can run as GWFs and have great DPS. Will be quite annoying enemies…

Swordfish, thank you very much for this guide. I used this guide for my GWF for Mod 3 and really rocked the house. I added greater generous enchants for all the offense slots, and radians for all defense and did a to. Of damage. Of course, gear score will be low, and that’s how others judge you until they see you in action. I make up for any differences in damage with either using a greater plague fire or perfect Bilethorn, and both seem to work out well for me. Can you provide an update to your build based on the Mod 4 changes, especially with the new artifact weapons and the readjustment of GWF stats in the feats, please? I am pretty sure you have profound sentinel gear by now, so it would be great to see how you configured your character. My thanks from a fellow GWF.

Is the halfling a mutch better choice or just a personal choice? i didnt like mutch how they looks like. is the h-Orcs or Dwarfs a good option to??? how should be the status??? i can never get the STR under 16
